Spaze's Mullet Machine

[WSSix]

Welcome. Nice project you're working. I like your modest goals. They will make for a great and fun driver.

Do not use C-clip eliminators if you want this car to go around corners though. Instead, spend the money to replace the housing ends with Ford Torino ends. You'll have to get custom axles but that's no big deal. Moser has both of these parts. Kore3 has a kit that will put C5 rear brakes on the rear end with these housing ends, too. This is the route that I went with my factory 10bolt.

Good luck on the project.

Thanks for the info! Since I want to use C5 brakes, I've had Kore3 on my radar.

My I ask why no C-clip eliminators? I was under the impression they were great for corner carvers? That said, this requires welding, so I'm likely to farm it out to BOS.

No, c-clip eliminators are bolt on pieces that can't handle the stresses of cornering. I'm fairly certain Moser even has a note on their site for their c-clip eliminators that says it's not for cornering.

We discuss it in more detail in the first couple pages of this build thread.
